Its rather ironic, I think, that in an age where everyone's up in arms about civil liberties and governments (and others) selling off our information to unscrupulous individuals and companies, that blogging should be in fashion, where you are basically opening up your life to the whole world. And as a civil libertarian (if not an economic one!) I should perhaps be even less inclined to do so.
However, I've relented, and have become a blogger. So first a little about me. I'm Zafar, a 21 year old third year student (believe me its a rarity here!) in Politics and History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (or SOAS as its more commonly known). I've also got a conditional place for a masters in South Asian Studies next year, if I'm a good boy and get a 2:i for my degree, which is fairly challenging since I didn't have great results last year, but hey, nothing's impossible.
This time next week, I'll be sitting my first of my last three undergraduate exams, for which I should be revising perhaps a teeny bit more, so that I do get that masters place.
Ciao for now. :-)
